How can AWS Batch be integrated with Step Functions or EventBridge to build complex, automated data processing workflows?
AdvancedAnswer
AWS Batch integrates directly as a task type within Step Functions state machines, letting you orchestrate complex workflows involving conditional logic, parallel branches, and error handling around your batch jobs, and it can also be triggered automatically by EventBridge rules, such as launching a batch processing job the moment a new file arrives in an S3 bucket, enabling fully automated, event driven data pipelines.
